Abstract excerpt
Tandem gene plasmids were constructed and used to express inactive proteins equivalent to human antileukoproteinase (ALP) and the variants [Leu73]-ALP and [Leu73, 82, 94, 96]-ALP in E. coli K12. After extraction, refolding, and purification, highly pure and active inhibitors were obtained in good yields. Inhibitory constants for human leukocyte elastase and cathepsin G were found to be similar. The variants in...
